Birthday Cake and Candy!

Activities / Games

We did the classic birthday party agenda: SURPRISE!, open gifts, birthday candles and cake. On the game coffee table: UNO, Army men, and Legos.

Budget

$400. I spent way too much on candy, and have a lot leftover. I always include something special for me in the budget like a new serving platter. This time, I bought the cake stand I'd been obsessing about forever.

Best Moment

What People Ate

What People Drank

We don't drink alcohol, so I always have Coca-Cola products on hand, including Rob's current favorite: Cherry Coke Zero

Funniest Moment

Even though I had been planning the surprise for two weeks, when Rob and I walked into the apartment and everyone jumped from their hiding places, I dropped my purse and went into the fetal position screaming.

Hi Denise,
The instructions called for styrofoam circles, but I thought that was too expensive.
First I took dinner size paper plates and hot-glued them together face to face, bottom to bottom until they were the length of the candy bars.
Then I did the same with dessert size paper plates for the middle layer.
Then I cut a paper cup to size, turned it upside down, and glued on as the top layer.
I hot-glued 2 -3 candy bars on at a time, placing the line of glue on the paper plate edges.
I used reeses mini cups to fill in the top of each layer, gluing them on with a dot each.
